After receiving an invitation last month, the Eagles have accepted and will visit the White House on June 5 for a celebration of their Super Bowl victory.
The news was first reported by 6ABC, which says logistics are still being organized.
In late April, reports surfaced that the Eagles were in conversation with the White House about planning the visit. Those conversations were muddled by a report from the New York Times that included comments made by Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie in which he was critical of President Donald Trump.
Immediately following the Eagles’ win over the Patriots in February, a number of players declared they wouldn’t be making the visit.
